BACK TO GAME

Before you can participate to this game, you need to be registered with Zweeler Ltd. Once registered for one of the games, you can play them all!!

After registration you can start creating your team(s). The teams can be submitted and changed until the start of the game on Sunday 7 June 2015 11:35.

You need to select 32 riders from 6 groups. For example, you may choose four riders from group A which exists from Alberto Contador, John Degenkolb, Chris Froome, Alexander Kristoff, Nairo Quintana, Joaquim Rodríguez, Peter Sagan and Alejandro Valverde. A complete overview of how the riders are divided in the groups can be found here: riders. The total of riders per group can be found under the rules header of this page.

The riders which you select can score points for your team throughout the whole year. In total there are 22 races which count for this Fantasy Cycling Year Game 2nd Period. These races are divided between Tour and Classics. With both the Tour and Classics there are 3 categories. The Tour de France and Vuelta are category 1. Races like Critérium du Dauphiné and the Eneco Tour are in category 2 and the Vuelta a Burgos and the USA Pro Challlenge are category 3. With the Classics we also have 3 categories, for more details please check the calendar.

The total of points which you can earn in every category can be found below the header "Points". We will give you 2 examples: You selected Alejandro Valverde and Chris Froome from group A. When Valverde finishes 5th in the general classification of the Tour de France (Tour cat. 1) and Chris Froome wins the Tour de France, you will receive 90 points for Valverde and 180 points for Chris Froome.

Suppose you created a second team with Peter Sagan and Joaquim Rodríguez. In Grand Prix de Québec (Classics Cat. 2) Rodríguez becomes 2nd and Sagan 23rd, in this case you will get 60 points for Rodríguez and 0 points for Sagan. In the Classics Cat. 2 only the top 20 scores points for your team.
